Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of wireless communication technology, and specifically relates to a QoS control method and device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of downloading data services such as video playback services, it is generally necessary to make the download rate of the first data downloaded initially (such as the first few minutes of data at the beginning of the video) greater than the download rate of the subsequently downloaded data. The reason is that during the download of the first data, the user is waiting, and fast downloading can improve the user experience; while during the download of subsequent data, the user is still watching the cached data that has been downloaded. As long as the download does not affect the viewing progress, the user's service experience will not be affected. However, during the process of watching a video, the user may perform operations such as dragging the progress of the video or changing the viewing angle, which will cause the video viewing experience to return to the state of the first data. At this time, the data download rate needs to be increased.

[0180] In addition, the embodiments of the present application can be applied to 4G, 5G, 6G and other communication systems.

[0181] In the process of downloading data services such as video playback services, it is generally necessary to make the download rate of the first data downloaded initially (such as the first few minutes of data at the beginning of the video) greater than the download rate of the subsequently downloaded data. The reason is that during the download of the first data, the user is waiting, and fast downloading can improve the user experience; while during the download of subsequent data, the user is still watching the cached data that has been downloaded. As long as the download does not affect the viewing progress, the user's service experience will not be affected. However, during the process of watching a video, the user may perform operations such as dragging the progress of the video or changing the viewing angle, which will cause the video viewing experience to return to the state of the first data. At this time, the data download rate needs to be increased.

[0182] That is to say, the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the same service at different time periods are different. How to meet the QoS requirements of the same service at different time periods is an issue that needs to be solved urgently.

[0183] The technical problems to be solved by the embodiments of the present application are as follows:

[0184] Problem 1: Solve the QoS requirements of the same service at different time periods;

[0185] Question 2: How to identify the time period of the business or identify the first data.

[0186] The solution of the present application includes at least one of the following:

[0187] Solution 1: The core network (CN) provides at least one of the following to the radio access network (RAN): description information of the data channel; data description information of the first data; information of the first time period; QoS configuration information; first indication information, used to indicate one of the following: activating the first QoS configuration information, deactivating the first QoS configuration information; second indication information, used to indicate one of the following: improving the QoS configuration of the data channel, restoring the QoS configuration of the data channel.

[0188] The QoS configuration information includes: two sets of QoS configuration information corresponding to one QoS flow (first QoS configuration information and second QoS configuration information).

[0189] The first QoS configuration information is used for the first data or the data in the first time period; the first data is one or more data packets of the initial burst; the first time period is the time period of the initial burst. The second QoS configuration information is used for other data except the first data, and the second QoS Profile is the default effective QoS configuration information of the QoS flow. The initial burst is, for example, one of the following: the start of a service, or a state caused by a user moving a progress bar or changing an angle.

[0190] Solution 2: CN provides at least one of the following to RAN: description information of the data channel; data description information of the first data; information of the first time period; a set of QoS configuration information; first indication information, used to indicate one of the following: activating the first QoS configuration information, deactivating the first QoS configuration information; second indication information, used to indicate one of the following: improving the QoS configuration of the data channel, restoring the QoS configuration of the data channel;

[0191] That is, a QoS flow is also a set of QoS configuration information.

[0192] However, the RAN may increase the transmission priority and / or transmission rate of the first data according to a policy, or increase the transmission priority and / or transmission rate of the data whose timestamp matches the first time period.

[0193] Solution 3: Establish two QoS flows for the service to meet different QoS requirements at different time periods.
